Once upon a time there was a shy kid with only a handful of good friends. After a particularly tough day at school he slipped the new Hitbox album into his Philips Discman. Listening to music always cheered him up. Sitting somewhere between Def Dames Dope and Laura Pausini was Enigma’s Return to Innocence.

The native chants were intriguing but the lyrics left him speechless…

Some of you may remember Return to Innocence as a forgotten gem of the nineties. Some of you may know Enigma from their early albums. Then again, most of you probably never heard of it… Whatever may be, I invite you to enjoy this unique video, celebrating life itself.

Dear readers, you have every right to be angry with me. Yes, you heard that right. Compare my blog to the Minimalists, Humans of New York or themakeupblogger.com and you will notice that NoMoreMovies lacks a clear message. My attempt at describing a vision and mission ended up being about getting our priorities straight, listening to ourselves, being more aware of the world around us and helping others where we can. Pretty vague, right?

Well, if you lack direction, it is always helpful to stop for a while. Just to look back and see how you got here in the first place. That’s my sole intention for this piece. Looking back at why I started NoMoreMovies in the first place, asking the question: am I too old for this sh*t, or should I keep on going?

Today is the day after. The day after my first High Intensity Interval Training (= HIIT). There are dozens of reasons why I should have disliked this challenging workout, but in reality I enjoyed it. Allow me to share a story on overcoming my fear of group workouts. A story on Les Mills and the amazing team at EcoGym. And most of all: a story on the importance of allowing yourself to be bad at things…
